But because Virginia had a better climate than Massachusetts they would grow more exotic crops. Which also had a great deal of impact on their way of trade as well as the quality of goods produced, trading directly from their port. Another interesting aspect was that Virginia did not have any women until 1619. According to American History’s author Alan Brinkley; “In 1619, it sent 100 Englishwomen to the colony (which was still overwhelmingly male) to become the wives of male colonists. The women could be purchased for 120 pounds of
With the average diesel price today ($4.12) it would cost the U.S $1,030 per trip to import their food to a market4. It takes about 10 miles to get locally grown food from a farm to a market. To transport locally grown food using a tractor trailer that have an average miles per gallon of 7 to transport locally grown food, it would cost about $8.12 for a round trip. This is significantly cheaper compared to the $1,030 per trip for imported food. Using imported food not only has a huge impact for our economy but also for our air quality.
This strategy is effective as the plants grow up to four times faster and seasonal crops can be harvested all year round. Also the surplus water can be recycled, which cuts use by 20%, and also the plants need fewer chemical pesticides as they are being grown indoors. However, as the plants are not grown in soil, the produce is bland and cannot produce true organic produce. Also the heated greenhouses and lights are wasteful and the greenhouses are an eyesore. An example of aquaponics, which is a combination of hydrophonics and aerophonics, in the UK is in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Lot of people has that the factory faming spread diseases to other animals and it is unhealthy. Nonetheless, modern farming stops bad diseases by making the animals healthy. Furthermore, they use clean pesticides, antibiotics, vitamins and fertilizers to produce more and better quality animals. Therefore, costumers could buy meat into lower prices on supermarkets. In addition, promoters of factory farming say that the factory farming helps the economy of a country, creates more jobs, and lower borne illness.
Pros and Cons of Marijuana Legalization Introduction to Ethics and Social Responsibility November 28, 2011 “In everything good, there is also something bad.” The quote stated above can be related to a large variety of things including the legalization of marijuana. Great things could result out of the United States government decriminalizing the cultivation, distribution, and use of marijuana. Some of these great things would include, providing the economy with more jobs, the economy would have more money, and it helps those with certain medical conditions. However, just because there are several positive things stated, there are also cons to the legalization of marijuana as well. The cons include but are not limited to marijuana being a gateway drug, the harmful long term effects it has on the human body, and it could lead to the legalization of harder more serious drugs.
They’re all produced from resources other than petroleum and can make our dependency on imported oil a thing of the past. Alternative fuels are much safer for our environment because they produce less pollution. In some cases and to boost alternative fuel vehicle sales, our government will offer tax incentives to people that buy these vehicles. I think my favorite ones would be the ethanol and biodiesel. Ethanol is made from crops, mainly corn and biodiesel is made from animal fats and vegetable oils.
The outlook is bleak, but all hope is not lost due to different initiatives by various African governments to solve this devastating problem. Deforestation due to agricultural development is both a blessing and a curse. More farms equal more food, but fewer forests equal less rain which can bring food production to an abrupt halt. Deforestation combined with poor cropping methods result in the reduction of cloud cover and much larger evaporation rates. (“Overview of Drought”) Malawi, for example, was once a heavily forested country, but due to the population doubling and 80% of the population practicing subsistence farming, forests only cover about 27% of the land.
Basics of Oboe Maintenance Swabs: It is essential for every oboe player to own an oboe swab. It prevents the oboe from having accumulating spit beneath the keys and keeps the bore of the instrument clean. Swabs that are not "pull-through" are not best for this task. Although they are quite easy and quicker to use than thicker swabs, they eventually fill the octave vents with spit and other debris from the instrument as it is pulled through. Feathers are not as good as silk swabs either; the leave even more feather debris that can even end up going inside the tone holes.
Legalizing marijuana would lead to not having to spend money on all the people in prison cells because of marijuana use, getting profit from taxing it, and creating thousands of new jobs for Americans through dispensarys and marijuana accessory shops. Marijuana can make even more jobs for people along with decreasing the cost of many common goods through the use of hemp. hemp can be used to make things like textiles and paper, and paints, it can make clothing, insulation, and plastic, it can even make cosmetics,animal feed, and foodstuffs, along with many other useful applications(norml.org). Through all these useful benefits, if marijuana was legalized, I believe Americas economy would greatly
When sold, it is a mixture of dried out leaves, stems, flowers and seeds of the hemp plant; it is usually green, brown or gray in color. With a few exceptions, the use of weed is banned for many reasons including the loss interest in health, life, school activities and social life. However, this doesn’t stop people from consuming this easily obtainable drug. In fact, it is one of the most consumed
